[wp-pro] WordPress Professional Directory?

[OTCListings]

I would like to see:

Wordpress Templates and Designs, and integration
Wordpress Widgets and Pluggins
Wordpress Coding for Single Sites
Wordpress Coding Multiple User/site platform
Wordpress Ecommerce
Wordpress PHP, etc. Coding based work, even other code
Wordpress - Code is Poetry... for the more artistically inclined :)

The last two could overlap, but I seperated them for the sake of argument.

Just a thought...

What I would love to see would be a list of reference work. I.E. Bill works 
on a site that has integrated multiple sites for an Accountants Association, 
with each individual Accountant having their own blogs, and ecommerce for 
purchasing courses and renewing fees. This is Bills Reference Site for this 
work... for "multiple" "ecommerce" "subscription" "association", and if he 
is really good "Poetry."

Etc. Where everytime a WP-Pro person does work, the reference goes up, we 
all know what you are capable of, and we all see what cool things can be 
done. It allows us to know your signature and also to know what best to hire 
different developers for. This is just me thinking outloud, but 95% of the 
time, ones work speaks louder than a list abbrv or donotations. Take the 
same concept that is used for all of the template design directories, but 
use it for WP-Pro's example work. Searchable, accept not by theme but by 
function or function and theme. The code is out there... it just needs 
customizing :) Like we haven't heard that before hehehe. The word is in the 
dictionary, but only brings life when used by a poet...

Thanks.

Just another poet :)

I have thought about this a few times. I don't do a whole lot of WP
work but ecommerce work is my main bread and butter.. So I think it
would be cool to have a directory with a few focuses.

So I will ask the list.. what would you like to see listed for each
entry in the list?
